Mr. Klassen expressed his concerns regarding the safety of residents and traffic in the neighborhood. He concluded by stating that the proposal will increase the chance of hazards due to large vehicles from the construction. Tim and Lauren Williams were present in opposition to the application. Ms. Williams stated that they are speaking on behalf of the neighborhood residents and noted a petition and list of concerns was submitted to Toni Rubino in the Planning and Development Services Department. She expressed her concerns regarding safety, speeding, traffic, and on -street parking. Ms. Williams stated that the extension will create a hazard for residents and children walking to the park or school. She expressed her concerns regarding noise and pollution contaminating backyard gardens and pools with dust and debris. Ms. Williams noted that there is a lack of history on the builder and stated that it is upsetting that despite all concerns regarding the proposal, applications of this nature are still being submitted. She answered questions from Members of Committee. Amber Novak was called upon and was not present. Kinza Haider, Kinza Law Office, was present in support of the application. She stated that she is present on behalf of her client, the direct neighbour to the proposal. Ms. Haider explained that in the winter, the snowplow pushes snow to the dead-end creating a barricade to her client's property and to Cherry Blossom Park. She stated that the proposal will provide a long-term benefit as the snowplow can pass through the streets and not create a barricade. Ms. Haider added that the Courtice Construction Team is not the builder and will be hiring a qualified builder for the construction. Eric Richter was present in opposition to the application. Mr. Richter expressed his concerns regarding the safety of children, the time of construction, and increased traffic. Mr. Richter added that there are always vehicles parking on the street, which will get worse with the extension.

Mr. Long expressed his concerns regarding traffic, speeding, and the safety of children. He stated that there have been accidents in the area and noted there has already been an attempt to slow traffic. Mr. Long explained that the extension will provide more traffic through the neighbourhood than the main streets. He added that children play in the area and the extension will negatively impact their safety. Prakash Jacob was called upon but was not present. 2 Joint General Government and Planning and Development Committees Minutes February 7, 2022 Michael Fry and Ashlee Prescott, D.G.

Ms. Gasser explained that the Region of Durham staff consistently tailor replies which omit key facts when asked questions about the incinerator exceedances. She outlined the conflicting information contained in the ESR which has the potential to impact air emissions due to changes in waste composition -impacts that were not addressed in the EA. Ms. Gasser explained that the waste reduction strategy is essential to addressing waste and capacity at the DYEC and added that Durham had no waste reduction or reuse strategies in the latest strategic plan. She noted that Durham Region had the second -highest waste generation rate within their group of municipalities with similar characteristics.

Mr. Corbett-Hains explained Dillion Consulting's role noting they are retained by the Municipality to act as an air quality advisor, their scope is not to provide a peer review of the Air Quality Impact Assessment (AQIA) and highlighted the qualifications of their team. He provided an overview of the Environmental Screening Report (ESR) and AQIA. He explained that a review of the air quality, odour, and greenhouse gases sections of the ESR was performed. Mr. Corbett-Hains provided a general overview of the AQIA noting that it generally follows good industry practice for air dispersion modelling assessments and is generally in line with Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) guidance. He explained that most indicator compounds are monitored at the nearby Courtice and Rundle stations and noted that Courtice is considered to be upwind of DYEC while Rundle is considered downwind. Mr. Corbett-Hains recommended that the municipality request the Region and MECP to review the data selected for background conditions to confirm the assessment is appropriately conservative. He added that the summary of monitoring data shows that several indicator compounds are at levels close to, or exceeding, the air quality criteria without the influence of DYEC. Mr. Corbett-Hains outlined the AQIA emission rates noting the approach is conservative and is in line with good industry practice. He recommended that the municipality request the Region and MECP to confirm that all stack parameters and emission rates have been appropriately characterized. Mr. Corbett-Hains stated that the meteorological data was reviewed and appears appropriate by the MECP. He explained that the AQIA assessed the impacts from the proposed increase using the CALPUFF air dispersion model and noted the model is appropriate given the scale of the facility and proximity to Lake Ontario. Mr. Corbett-Hains noted that there appears to be inconsistencies in the determination of flow rate between the existing and proposed scenarios and recommended that the municipality request that Durham and MECP confirm that all stack parameters and emission rates have been accurately determined. He stated that the best practice is to locate receptors at any point within the model where an impact would occur and noted that the AQIA has not included any elevated receptors in the air dispersion model. 11 Joint General Government and Planning and Development Committees Minutes February 7, 2022 Mr. Corbett-Hains stated that the current zoning allows for both a hotel and daycare within 500m of the DYEC and recommended that the municipality request the Region and MECP to assess the potential impacts at all sensitive receptor locations which are existing, allowable, or proposed, within the study area. He explained that the AQIA has not considered the impacts of DYEC cumulatively with other approved industries and recommended that the municipality confirm with the Region and MECP that the assessment has appropriately considered all proposed and operating facilities in the area. Mr. Corbett-Hains explained that the AQIA reported no result in a significant change to off -site concentrations of indicator compounds and noted that Nitrogen Dioxide and Benzo[a]pyrene are predicted to exceed the relevant criteria under both the existing and proposed scenarios. He explained that the ESR shows that the increase will result in a net reduction in GHGs when compared to the alternative scenario of landfilling at a remote site and recommended that the municipality confirm with the Region that no change in the waste stream composition is expected. Mr. Corbett-Hains explained the start-up and shut -down conditions and recommended that the municipality request the Region and MECP to confirm that the selection of operating conditions assessed is appropriate to support the conclusions of the ESR/AQIA. He outlined the real-time ambient air quality monitoring network setup recommendations and answered questions from Members of Committee.
